Courage through Chronic Disease is an inspirational book with sound practical advice on how to live successfully with a serious chronic condition. With stirring accounts of those who have excelled in life despite their afflictions, Humphrey's thoughtful reflections will be a source of encouragement not only for those with life-long illness but also for others who are challenged by injury, loss of a loved one, or the effects of aging. Life presents us, inevitably, with discouragements, some much more challenging than others. Humphreys' steady voice of support and consolation serves as a source of strength through these trials. So too does her practical advice for managing daily life, which includes steps for simplifying food preparation, self-care, and mobility. What is most valuable, however, is her call to accept with humble endurance and hope the pains and difficulties of physical disability. The book takes us from the initial diagnosis and its disorienting implications through the process of gradual adjustment that is necessary to continue to live a productive and joyous life. No one should be identified with a chronic illness, Humphrey emphasizes, because each of us is a person, regardless of condition. Those who want to understand how to respect and interact with those who suffer from persistent ill health would do well to have this bracing volume on their shelves. It is a must-have for those in healthcare, social work, long-term health facilities, and other areas where chronic disease is prevalent.
